The Weakest Link (thing)

Daytime BBC quiz show hosted by Anne Robinson that is a strange amalgamation of 15 to 1 (number of contestants), Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (music and set) and Big Brother/Survivor (contestants are voted out by their peers), with the added bonus of extremely low prize money and a 45 minute running time. A show where it is statistically very likely to go away at a loss (only the winner gets anything at all), with the additional disincentive of making up to nine enemies.

Since I created this writeup, The Weakest Link went on to be a transparently BBC-orchestrated "mediaphenomenon", the show promoted to a prime-time slot and endless pointless column inches dribbled out about its supposed popularity. Oh, and every fuckwit on God's green earth began to parrot its catchphrases incessantly. Kill your television.
